Are you basing this on running the wx GUI on the same system that it was compiled on? Or using binaries compiled on a different system? Getting the former right is much easier than the latter. > But there are packaging and > version issues that we need to solve in order to do this and not get > flooded with reports of the GUI not starting or working correctly.

The problem is that if there are any compatibility issues between the user's wx libraries and the version used for the vdigit module, it won't just affect the vdigit module, but the whole GUI. The vdigit module will never be entirely immune to wx compatibility issues, or to issues caused by it using the GRASS libraries. This is inevitable. What isn't inevitable is inflicting these issues on the main GUI by having it import vdigit as a module; that's just bad design. And it's not as if this hasn't been mentioned several times since almost as long as the vdigit module has been around. -- Glynn Clements <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ grass-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-dev
